Synopsis

When they were first released in the 1980s, Janet Woititz's groundbreaking works, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Struggle for Intimacy, and The Self-Sabotage Syndrome, provided a new message of hope to adult children who had grown up in the shadow of alcoholic parents. Their message today is as profound and timeless as it was two decades ago.

Now, in this complete collection, listeners will learn again the insight and healing power of Janet Wotitiz's words. The Complete ACoA Sourcebook is a compilation of three of Dr. Woititz's classic books, addressing head-on the symptoms of The Adult Children of Alcoholics syndrome and providing strategies for living a normal life as an adult. Listeners will find help for themselves: at home, in intimate relationships, and on the job. They will discover the reasons for the way they think, believe, and feel about themselves; ACoAs often feel isolated, have difficulty in relationships, in the workplace, and in feeling good about themselves.

Noted ACoA expert Dr. Robert Ackerman, author of the best-selling Perfect Daughters and Silent Sons, provides a foreword and explains why Janet Woititz's message will continue to help millions of listeners for generations to come.

Goodreads review by Amber on December 10, 2019

This book was very invaluable to me in coming to understand myself better (the 'why do I think or act this way's)... and my family and anyone else who grew up around alcohol and/or addiction. This book is often recommended by many counselors, therapists, psychologists, etc. If you're seeking to unde......more
